Abstract
Description
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 641,915, filed Aug. 17, 1984, now abandoned.
The invention relates to a connector for connecting a daughter printed circuit board (PCB) to a backplane.
Backplanes are printed circuit boards or metal plates on the upper sides of which "daughter" PCB's are detachably mounted perpendicularly to the backplanes for easy removal. One way of electrically connecting a daughter board to another daughter board, the backplane, and other circuitry is by a two-piece multiple-contact connector consisting of a first connector element that is attached to the backplane and a mating second connector element that is attached to the daughter board and fits between upwardly extending sidewalls of the first element. When the two elements are joined, a plurality of rows of contact posts directed upwardly between the sidewalls of the first element are connected to a plurality of corresponding downwardly directed forked contacts of the second element.
We have discovered that by providing a backplane/daughter board connector with an additional contact carried by a sidewall of one of the two connector elements and a further contact carried by a facing outside wall of the other connector element an additional connection for distributing current, e.g., for ground or power, can be advantageously provided without increasing the overall size of the connector.
In preferred embodiments, there are grooves in the sidewall of the connector element toward the backplane and a plurality of resilient contact portions extending from the grooves; the contact portions have laterally extending tabs at their upper movable ends to prevent the contact portions from extending too far into the region between the sidewalls to prevent jamming; there are further recesses in the sidewall near the tops of the grooves to receive the movable ends of the contact portions when they are deflected; a single contact in the connector element toward the backplane has a plurality of contact portions located in the grooves; and the contacts on the other connector element are large enough to contact a plurality of contact portions of a contact of the first connector element.
The structure and operation of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described after first briefly describing the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connector for connecting a daughter printed circuit board to a backplane according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view, taken at 2--2 of FIG. 1, of the FIG. 1 connector.
FIG. 3 is an exploded diagrammatic perspective view showing a contact of a daughter board connector element of the FIG. 1 connector and the portion of the daughter board connector element on which the contact is carried.
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a contact of a backplane connector element of the FIG. 1 connector prior to placement in grooves of sidewalls of a backplane connector element of the FIG. 1 connector.
FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view, taken at 5--5 of FIG. 1, showing mating of contacts of the FIG. 1 connector in use.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown two-piece connector 10 for electrically connecting daughter printed circuit board 12 (shown diagrammatically without any electronic components) tobackplane 14.Connector 10 includes lowerbackplane connector element 16 connected tobackplane 14 and upper daughterboard connector element 20 connected todaughter board 12. Secured tobackplane 14 and passing upwardly throughbackplane connector element 16 are four rows ofsignal contact pins 18 for mating with a corresponding plurality of forkedsignal contacts 22 mounted in housing 24 (FIG. 2).
Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 5,signal contacts 22 of daughterboard connector element 20 are forked atlower ends 26 inboxes 28 ofplastic housing 24 and extend upwardly and are bent horizontally. The other ends 23 ofcontacts 22 pass throughplastic guide board 30 and holes indaughter board 12, where they are soldered (FIG. 5).Aluminum stiffener 32 is connected betweenguide board 30 andhousing 24 to cover exposed portions ofcontacts 22 and provide structure to daughterboard connector element 20. On an outer face ofside wall 34 ofhousing 24 areground contacts 36, shown isolated fromhousing 24 and in more detail in FIG. 3.Contacts 36 are secured towall 34 ofhousing 24 viavertical tabs 37, secured in place during molding ofhousing 24, andhorizontal tabs 39, bent upward after molding. The lower ends ofcontacts 36 are inclined to provideguide surfaces 40. Laterally extendingprongs 38 ofcontacts 36 pass through holes indaughter board 12, where they are soldered (FIG. 5).Contacts 36 are approximately 0.008 inch thick and are made of phosphor bronze with 100 microinches of nickel covered by 20 microinches of plated gold.
Referring to FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, it is seen thatsignal contact pins 18 ofbackplane connector element 16 are press fit inbackplane 14, and thatbackplane connector element 16 hassidewall contacts 42 provided ingrooves 44 of right-hand sidewall 46 extending upward frombase 47. Eachcontact 42 has threecontact portions 50 that extend upward from connectingportion 53 throughholes 51 togrooves 44. Adjacent to the top ofbase 47, contactportions 50 bend away from contact region orcavity 54 betweensidewalls fulcrum portion 52. From there they bend back toward and intocontact region 54, and atcontact points 48 they begin to bend back away fromregion 54. At the upper movable end of eachcontact portion 50 istab 58, which extends laterally behind overhangingportion 60 ofsidewall 46.Recess 45 extends further intosidewall 46 at the top ofgroove 44.Contacts 42 are made of a copper alloy (C72500) and have a welded inlay at contact areas 48 (FIG. 4) of 100 microinches of nickel covered by 100 microinches of gold.
In use,backplane connector element 16 is connected tobackplane 14 by inserting the lower press-fit portions ofcontact pins 18 and contacts 42 through holes in the backplane. Daughterboard connector element 20 is connected todaughter board 12 byscrew 64 throughguide board 30 andstiffener 32 and also by solder whereends 23 ofcontacts 22 and prongs 38 ofcontacts 36 pass throughholes 62 indaughter board 12.Contacts contacts
Before insertion of daughterboard connector element 20 intocontact region 54,tabs 58 bear against overhangingportions 60, owing to preloading forces, and precisely locate thecontact points 48 so that they do not extend intocontact region 54 so far that there would be jamming during insertion. When daughterboard connector element 20 is inserted intocontact region 54,contact pins 18 are received between forkedprongs 26; the upper ends ofcontacts 42 are bent back slightly byinclined surface 39 and received inrecesses 45, and contacts 36touch contact points 48 ofcontacts 42, as is shown in FIG. 5.Recesses 45 are provided so thatcontact portions 50 are only bent at the lower ends to prevent the very large insertion forces that would be required ifcontact portions 50 were supported at two ends.
In addition to providing ground connections without taking up any extra space onconnector 10, a further advantage is thatground contact prongs 38 can be provided ondaughter boards 12 immediately adjacent to a row ofsignal contacts 22 to provide a short ground path to permit high-speed switching.
Other embodiments of the invention are within the scope of the following claims.
